What colleagues are saying...

“The Pierangelo/Giuliani text takes the practitioner’s approach and utilizes language that may be better understood by the teacher in the field.”
–Dr. Maribeth Montgomery Kasik, Governors State University

“The writing style is lucid and readable. The subtopics in each chapter are well-sequenced, and each subtopic flows into the next lending a sense of coherence to the entire text.
